Patients who experience injury-related trauma tend to have complex care needs and often require support from many different care providers. Many patients experience gaps in care while in the hospital and during transitions in care. Providing access to integrated care can improve outcomes for these patients. Patient navigation is one approach to improving the integration of care and proactively supporting patients and their caregivers as they navigate the healthcare system. The objective of this scoping review is to map the literature on the characteristics and impact of hospital-based patient navigation programmes that support patients who experience injury-related trauma and their caregivers.
This review will be conducted in accordance with Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews. The review will include primary research studies, unpublished studies and evaluation reports related to patient navigation programmes for injury-related trauma in hospital settings. The databases to be searched will include CINAHL (EBSCO), EMBASE (Elsevier), ProQuest Nursing & Allied Health, PsycINFO (EBSCO) and MEDLINE (Ovid). Two independent reviewers will screen articles for relevance against the inclusion criteria. Results will be presented in a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) flow diagram and follow the PRISMA-ScR checklist. The extracted data will be presented both tabularly and narratively.
Ethics approval is not required, as the scoping review will synthesise information from publicly available material. To disseminate the findings of this review, the authors will submit the results for publication in a medical or health sciences journal, present at relevant conferences and use other knowledge translation strategies to reach diverse stakeholders (eg, host webinars, share infographics).
经历与伤害相关创伤的患者往往有复杂的护理需求，通常需要许多不同护理提供者的支持。许多患者在住院期间和护理交接期间都会经历护理中断。提供综合护理可以改善这些患者的预后。患者导航是改善护理整合并主动支持患者及其护理人员在医疗保健系统中进行导航的一种方法。本综述的目的是绘制支持经历与伤害相关创伤的患者及其护理人员的基于医院的患者导航计划的特征和影响的文献图谱。
本综述将按照乔安娜·布里格斯研究所（Joanna Briggs Institute）的系统评价范围综述方法进行。综述将包括与医院环境中与伤害相关的创伤患者的患者导航计划相关的原始研究、未发表的研究和评估报告。将搜索的数据库包括 CINAHL（EBSCO）、EMBASE（Elsevier）、ProQuest 护理与联合健康、PsycINFO（EBSCO）和 MEDLINE（Ovid）。两名独立审查员将根据纳入标准筛选文章的相关性。结果将以系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目（PRISMA-ScR）流程图呈现，并遵循 PRISMA-ScR 清单。提取的数据将以表格和叙述方式呈现。
不需要伦理批准，因为范围综述将综合来自公开可用材料的信息。为了传播本综述的结果，作者将提交结果以供发表在医学或健康科学期刊上，在相关会议上展示，并使用其他知识转化策略来吸引不同的利益相关者（例如，举办网络研讨会，分享信息图）。
